  Cancel culture, despite its purported good intentions, has morphed into a pervasive force that's more harmful than helpful. Sure, it aims to call out toxic behavior and hold people accountable, but it's gone way overboard, stifling free speech and drowning out diverse perspectives in the process. On one hand, you've got folks arguing that cancel culture is all about silencing dissent and squashing any opinion that doesn't align with the prevailing narrative. People are walking on eggshells, terrified of saying anything that might land them in the crosshairs of the cancel mob. It's like living in a perpetual state of self-censorship, where you're constantly second-guessing every word you utter for fear of being labeled as "problematic" or worse. But let's take a step back and look at the bigger picture here. Cancel culture isn't just about shutting down voices we don't like; it's about accountability and consequence. When someone says ...

In the article I chose, they took several manufactured opinions of how different conservative men raise daughters in their households. The article primarily utilizes sarcasm and parody to get its point across. It’s sarcastic in the way that it uses different opinions of men.
